1736 October 19 (Tuesday). We hope Ebenezer is a little better. Trooping and Training, but a rainy Day. Prayed in the Meeting House with the Companys. Dined with the Officers. Dr. Gott came up to Mr. Seth Rice’s Son, by which I had advantage for a Visit from him to Ebenezer. The Canker rose very visibly upon the inside of his Throat but not Swelled a great Deal nor very troublesome to him — <but?> his Fever not so high. Mrs. Whipple[1] kindly visited us. Sarah Ward and Deborah watched. N.B. Sent an Answer to Mr. Stone. See Oct. 15.
